The Best Sex Positions for Every Penis Size

When it comes to sex, bigger is NOT always better. At least, not for every position or maneuver. The good news is that you can experience maximum pleasure with the right person, regardless of what you’re working with. See four different sex positions, tailored to perfection for four different types of members. Wondering how you stack up? Science reveals the average penis size. Whether you’re giant or below average (or curve dramatically to the right), you’ll definitely find a way to reach maximum velocity with these pointers.
